Life and joy, life and joy:
seize it [love] fast and hold on tight.
Let your heart be taken.
Oh..
[There was] fun out there and life in here.
Life [was] wonderful for us.
[But then there was] A sign in the sky for all of us:
[saying] That warmth won’t be there for us.
Chorus
Let out the tears,
let the stream flow out.
Let out the tears and
I’ll be with you like I should throughout the night.
Let the tears flow on out.
There we were once long ago
The sky so vast out there before us.
Now we’re swimming, hand in hand
Our own future [again] is blooming.
Chorus X2 oh…
Life and joy, life and joy:
seize it [love] fast and hold on tight.
Let your heart be taken.
Life and joy, life and joy:
seize it [love] fast and hold on tight.
Let your heart be taken.
